Not by me... the good news is I won't need to watch hockey on the computer when I'm in Hawaii for the Frozen Faceoff.

Lack of offense equals lack of entertainment value. It's why I'll never be a Wild fan- the early years were just too boring and they lost me. The team needs a total re-boot. It starts with getting rid of Shaw, then gets rid of all the dead weight forwards. the hard part about this year's team and coaching staff is it doesn't leave me with hope for next year. If we were young and skilled and losing 6-4, I'd have some hope.

Sutton played Center

Well at least after the hangover goes away

had to clear it with the GOBC first...then we go to KEM

Its beyond comprehension to be this pathetic offensively. Shaw should get fired on Monday. Berry should be informed that he has one year to prove worthy to keep his job.

These guys couldn't score with $50k in cash in Subic Bay

Berry and Shaw have been rope-a-doping all season. The real pp will be revealed this weekend for the first time! As will the high octane scoring offense line combinations!

Edina is comparable in size to GF...only one high school in Edina . Could a single high school team from GF compete and potentially win AA? I think so depending on the year.

A private, hockey focused school on the Eastside would devastate North Dakota hockey...imagine if it signed up for AA??

May the Farce be with you!

I don't think half a point per game from Poolman is bad, considering he is a dman and is often out against other teams' top forward lines. I'd say Jones is where I'd expect him to be, maybe a little off. Guch is where I'd expect him to be this year. JBD is where I'd expect him to be. Agree on Kiersted, Smith and Senden outpacing expectations. Rest of the team is below expectations.

statistically you need at least 3 data points to infer a trend...

I was picking up what you were laying down

but 5-3 pk is different

Been thinking about lack of creativity and forward scoring problems. I'm starting to think it has more to do with the on-ice leadership than coaching. Our upperclassmen such as Gardner are really just north-south players. If the fixtures in your lineup naturally play a particular way, it's difficult for the underclassmen playing with them to play a different style.

In many states AAA is the norm, because there isn't much of a local system. These teams are mostly made up of "local" kids. I caveat local, because many are based in huge cities. I haven't seen a ton of true import players from other parts of the country. AAA is expensive, mostly due to travel.

I am expecting Mishmash to develop into a Pony or Dutchman type player...If he sticks around 4 years, he can get his best shot at the show.

There is nobody NHL ready. Poolman and Mismash would be AHL possibly even in the coast. I'd stay in college, that being the case.

Bottom line is this team is capable of beating anybody and losing to anybody. Play .500 hockey against 1 seeds. Go winless against Canisius and Bemidji on the topic of one bad weekend- thank God we came back in that anchorage game...they are dead last inbyhe PWR

Can't say for sure. I was holding on too tight before- hence the need for my sabbatical.

I too have a strange good feeling about this weekend. I don't know why, but I do.

Sweeping DU coupled with Bowling Green and Notre Dame losses should move us up to 15 heading into St Paul...catching Harvard will be harder...

Can't believe it, but I am actually rooting for the Gophers and former Gopher (Grant Potulny) this coming weekend...We want to see Bowling Green and the Golden Domers drop in RPI...

Im watching high school
